Water Filtration System

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Water Filter Status

When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator, the water filter status lights help you know when to change your water filter.

■The “Order Filter” icon will illuminate when 90% of the volume of water for which the filter is rated has passed through the filter OR 5 months have passed since the filter was installed.

■The “Replace Filter” icon will illuminate and blink continuously during dispensing when the rated volume of water has passed through the filter OR 6 months have passed since the filter was installed. A new water filter should be installed immediately when the “Replace Filter” light is illuminated.

■After 14 days at Replace Filter stage, the “Replace Filter” and “water” icons will glow at all times and blink continuously during dispensing. Also, an alert chime will sound three times following dispensing.

The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every

6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.

Reset Water Filter Status

After changing the water filter, reset the status light. Press the OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press LOCK to initiate the reset, then press MEASURED FILL to confirm that you want to reset the status light. When the system is reset, the “ORDER” and “REPLACE” icons will disappear from the display screen.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid odor buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT:

■Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

■Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, nail polish remover, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools that may scratch or damage the materials.
